Taste

This coffee is sweet in aromatics with a fruity start reminiscent of plums and cherry, petering out to a milk chocolate finish. Its refreshing taste makes it a particularly good morning coffee as well as being a great all-rounder.

Facts

This fully-washed Guatemalan is from the north highlands, home to exceptional coffees with distinct acidity and fruited flavours. Thanks to the dry, hot winds that blow into the mountains from Mexico’s Tehuantepec plain, the region is protected from frost, allowing cultivation from 1350 feet above sea level.

Guatemala is one of the worlds top coffee origins and the eighth largest producer. This relatively small country boasts the most climatically diverse regions in the world. The soil, rainfall, humidity, altitude, and temperature are varied enough to produce seven distinct types of Guatemala Arabica coffee which are well-known and highly rated.

Roast Profile

This is a delicate bean to roast. It is taken just to 'first crack' - light medium/medium then bought out of the heat. Any more and the fruity, sweet cocoa flavours disappear to carbony bitterness. However when roasted correctly this complex single origin is an absolute delight!

Cupping Notes

1. Acidity - Mild fruity plum/cherry acidity that develops slowly on the palate.
2. Sweetness - Medium to low sweetness.
3. Body - Good body that cradles the mouth in a moreish way.
4. Balance - great balance of flavours, moves nicely from sweet, to mild acidity to dark cocoa and pleasant aftertaste.
5. Character - Deep, intense and complex. As an espresso plum & cherry with dark cocoa notes and a licorice aftertaste that lingers nicely. In the cafetiere a little lighter and milder with milk chocolate notes.

Origin Notes

Grown in the northern highlands of Guatemala, this coffee has a deep fruity and chocolate cup. Thanks to the dry, hot winds that blow into the mountains from Mexico’s Tehuantepec plain, the region is protected from frost, allowing cultivation of 1350 feet above sea level.

Reviews

Sharp then smooth

By David

The acidity mentioned is certainly there but with a smooth after taste. Not my favourite as the sharp start was a little overwhelming. I let it cool a fair bit which allowed the smoothness to come through for me.

Different

By Linda

Ok so I can't say that this was one of my favourite coffees a little on the "sharp" side for me, and I do normally like a coffee with a bit of kick. Didn't get the smooth "milk Chocolate " that you said. Still nice to try.
